Ashok Koul, Dr Andrabi, Nazir Gulkari and others address Asluk Aalav event at Ganderbal

GANDERBAL: Continuing with the series of programmes on the drug abuse and other social and moral awareness issues, Asluk Aalav (The call for the Truth) event was organised at Govt Degree College Ganderbal by Al-Rahim Trust in coordination with other NGO's working in the field of social transformation in J&K.

The dignitaries who participated in the event included BJP General Secretary Organization Ashok Koul, Molvi Owais Qadri, Assistant Development Commissioner Ganderbal Dr Salahuddin, Dr Abdul Ahad Makhdoomi, Chairman of Al-Rahim Trust Nazir Gulkari, Chairman Helping Hands Organization Omar Wani, Social Acticist Syed Aijaz Kashani, Dr Towseef Mustafa, Merajuddin Buja, GR Hami and others. Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board Chairperson Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi participated in the event as the Special Guest. In her address she thanked the people of J&K especially the youth who are vehemently supporting the Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyaan initiated and led by the Lieutenant Governor of the UT Manoj Sinha Ji.

"We all together supported the peace initiatives of the government after 2019 and which is why we are enjoying a peaceful progressive life full of dreams and aspirations in J&K. Now collective & consistent effeorts can surely achieve the Drug Free J&K for us", said Dr Andrabi. She said that the eradication of the drug menace was the unfinished goal of us all to ensure permanent peace and prosperity for our young generation.

Hailing the strict actions against the drug peddlers and suppliers by the police administration, Andrabi said that much stronger actions are required to break the spine of the drug syndicate in Jammu & Kashmir. "We have to think about the strict social punishment against those who are destroying our young generation. Social boycott to those who are involved in drug trade and trafficking can prove a very effective deterrent", said Darakhshan.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan. IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
